Nigel Mansell's Ferrari F40 under the hammer
For most, the highlight of the 11 October Bonhams auction will undoubtedly be the 1989 Ferrari F40 formerly owned by F1 hero Nigel Mansell, estimated to fetch €600,000-800,000. However, our personal favourite could be had for a tenth of that sum: a 1969 Maserati Mexico, estimated at €60,000-80,000. Supremely understated, and fitted with the desirable 4.7-litre V8 and rare automatic gearbox, this gentlemanly GT has covered fewer than 45,000 miles and remains in an original, unrestored condition.
